The yearly ski trip!

For the fourth year in a row we, together with 5 other families, went on a ski trip together. This is a highlight of the year and I think and hope that the kids will look back at these trips with happy memories when they get older.

This year we went to Storklinten and left after lunch on Thursday and stayed until Sunday.  

 

 

The first day was very quiet with a Little bit of playing outside in the snow, and lots of playing in the cabin and just enjoying the views.

I somehow managed to miss saving the pics from day 2 on the memory stick when moving them from the other laptop (still haven't worked out how to download photos from the camera to my new laptop) so I quickly go from day 1 to day 3. When we booked this trip I didn't Think I would be able to do any skiing at all at week 34+ a few Days but I was very wrong. Every morning Jakob and I did some skiing together and I also got to do quite a few runs by myself. Skiing wasn't hard at all, it was only the taking on and off boots, pulling kids and lifting up Crying kids at times etc that was hard. Every day after lunch I also had a sleep together with Isak which was nice and necessary for me I Think.

 

Cooking lunch on an open fire is part of the deal when on holiday. Sausage and hamburgers taste so much nicer when eating outside.

 

 

 

Saturday after skiing we went to kids after ski with Music together with Gunnard! All the kids seemed to love it, apart from Isak who was attached to me with a very serious look in his face.  

Isak looooves Jakob!

 

 

Walking back from after ski in the evening.

Nearly there, Jakob did a great job pulling Isak on the bob.

 

Saturday night the whole place had a power blackout just when we were about to prepare dinner. That together with kids that for some reason had too much energy to be kept inside a cabin made us decide to go outside and cook dinner on the open fire as well. The kids had snowball fights and pushed each other over in the snow for over an hour but nobody got hurt or was crying, Amazing.

Zara and Micke were cooking this night so Adam and I didn't do much ...

 

A quiet moment with all four kids in our cabin sitting on the floor drawing.

Not long after all the mums got together in one of the cabins for the yearly girls sauna. A great tradition and sometimes the only opportunity to have a good chat without children and men disturbing! 

Sunday and time to go home. Zara and I took the kids out around 9:30 and left the guys stay inside to clean. Both Adam and I still managed to do some skiing before it was time to head back to Luleå for a birthday party at Leos. Jakob somehow managed to stay awake in the car, play hard at Leos and then go to his last ice hockey training in the evening. He scored 6 goals and his team won the match so he was very happy but tired in the evening. I missed having my afternoon nap that I got used to getting on the weekend and felt more tired than the Children in the evening. We all Went to bed early after a great weekend away!
